Timboholm

About 10 kilometres east of Varnhem, in Timboholm just outside Skövde, there was discovered a 7 kilo heavy gold treasure in 1904. It dates from the era of the Great Migration : 375 - 550 AD, and contains two gold bars and 26 spirals. Click on the photo, and you´ll get to the homepage of the Museum of National Antiquities (where I got this picture), and to other goldtreasures from the same period.
